To my Big who’s leaving me in two weeks:

Biggie,

Let me just say STOP. Put down your cup of coffee and grab some tissues, some for each of us.

Who would’ve thought that two years would go by so fast, or that I could come to love someone so very much in that time?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I owe so much of my maturity to you.

When you join a sorority, one of the first things you get excited for is getting your Big. I was so nervous, trying to get to know all the actives in such a short time and not knowing who I would fit with. But you swooped in out of nowhere, my mama turtle.

I just thought you were checking in on me because I was having such a hard time meeting people. We went out to get Biggby and just talked for what seemed like forever. The similarities were incredible and I knew I found the person I wanted to guide me through my active period.

What I didn’t know was how much you would truly impact my life. You’ve inspired me to push myself to meet my full potential. And you instilled in me the drive to get everything out of our sorority, as you have to put your all into it. I know I can come to you for anything.

I just want you to know you’re an amazing person. Without knowing it, you have helped mold me into the woman I am today.

And before you leave me in two weeks, I wanted to tell everyone how much I love and appreciate you.

You’ve reminded me I can set my mind to anything and achieve it.

That it’s OK to vent about things and it feels so much better to do so to your best friend.

And that when times get hard, sometimes you just need to take a step back and breathe.

You’re moving on to do great things and I can’t wait to watch how the next part of your life unfolds.

Just remember I’m always here for you. You have been there for me through so much and I owe it to you now to be the rock as you move forward.

Love,

Your Little.
